About Love Audio recording services

History

Paul Webber, who is sole owner and founder of Love Audio, has been in and out of the radio industry for over 17 years and has gained a lot of experience in production values, best practice, sales and marketing. This page is almost like an online CV, but details the various stations that Paul has worked at over the years.

IMPORTANT MILE STONES:

Year 1988 - Taunton Hospital Radio in Somerset is where it all began, radio-wise anyway. Paul was a presenter and even chairman there!

Year 1989 - It was whilst working in the office equipment and stationery trade in Taunton that he heard about a new commercial radio station launching. This was the birth of Orchard FM, under the guidance of David Rogers, Phil Easton and Howard Bowles. Paul invited them down to the hospital radio studio to hear him on air and the rest is history!

Year 1994 - Paul left Orchard and went into the pub trade for a while but continued to freelance for GWR fm and Galaxy 101 in Bristol.

Year 1997 - Paul moved to Birmingham, where he lived above a pub for a while but also where he joined Choice 102.2 which later became Galaxy. Paul co-hosted the Breakfast show for six months, with Tammi Arthur.

Year 1998 - Paul moved back down south again, this time it was Wootton Bassett, and became Breakfast presenter at GWR fm for Swindon and Wiltshire. Co-host this time was Suzanna Bateman, who was also the news editor there. "One of the highlights of doing the breakfast show on GWRfm Swindon & Wiltshire was working with the morning crew, in particular, Andy Stiles, our 'eye in the sky' travel reporter. This one occasion makes me laugh so much. On the motorway nearby, a herd of cows had escaped from a field and caused mayhem one morning. take a listen to this aircheck from 1998!"

Paul then moved onto the afternoon drive show on GWRfm Swindon & Wiltshire for a short time before making the move up to the North East. Here's a short aircheck from Paul's show when a contestant winner was lucky enough to win over a grand in cash, just for listening.

Year 1999 - Guess what? Another move, this time 300 miles up the country to Stockton On Tees and to Afternoon Drive presenter on the EMAP owned TFM!

Year 2000 - Missing the south too much, Paul upped sticks again and this time headed for the south coast, Portsmouth to be precise! The station, The Quay and a weekend breakfast shift and freelance swing work.

Year 2001 - Just along the coast, at Chichester in West Sussex, Spirit FM was looking for a full time Breakfast presenter, as they'd not had a permanent fixture on that shift for some time, so, after submitting a demo and then being chosen from among 30 or so applicants, our Paul landed the role as Breakfast show host at Spirit FM and took the audience to new heights at that time of the day. He kind of ended up co-hosting the show initially with Sam Twomey, travel lady and good friend. Paul and Sam took part in a 10K Road Race in London, in aid of 4Sight, a charity for the blind, based in Bognor Regis.

Year 2004 - Itchy feet and a change of management at Spirit FM  lead Paul to decide to move up North, this time to Warrington, in Cheshire. He started doing freelance swing shifts for Wire FM  and for Wish Fm in Wigan. Later, Paul started the weekend breakfast shows at Wire whilst holding down a day job in a call centre. He then heard of a sales exec vacancy at Wire, applied and got the job. He stayed in the role for a year, until moving to Manchester in late 2005, to work for Messaging Warehouse (UK) Limited , a supplier of telephone on-hold solutions.

Year 2006 - But radio beckoned once again and Paul heard of a sales role at Dee 106.3  in Chester, applied for it and got an immediate interview and that's where the story ends. Paul is a Sales Consultant at Dee and runs Love Audio in his spare time.
